It was different in Hella's case, first of all because she had such frightful cramps before it began so that her mother knew all about it without being told, and secondly because it was her mother. I certainly shan't tell Dora whatever happens, for that would make me feel still more ashamed. As for a San T , I shall never be able to buy one for myself even if I live to be 80.
Hella's father simply said of me that I was charming,, and not that idiotic: I was going to become charming. I do hate the way people always talk out into the future. However, Oswald paid Hella a great deal of attention.
My music lessons will begin when the school time-table has been fixed up. Perhaps on October 1st, then I must write to Frau B., she told me to write myself. She tells all her pupils to do that. I would rather have had Hella's music mistress. But she has no time to spare and I think she charges more. At least she wouldn't always be holding me up "Fraulein Dora" as a model.
The way it all happened was that Hella's mother went away to see Emmy, her married niece, who was having her first baby. Hella still thinks that the "innocent child" was a humbug.
What I told Mother was that Frau Doktor Dunker was ill, so we had no lesson. Really one ought not to tell lies to an invalid, but this was a pious fraud as Hella's mother always calls anything of the sort, and no one will find out, because Frau Doktor Dunker has nothing to do with the Fourth, so Dora won't hear anything about it.
I went to wish Hella many happy returns quite early, and I stayed to dinner and Lajos and Jeno had been invited to dinner too in the afternoon the 2 Ehrenfelds came and brought a box of sweets, and 3 of Hella's girl cousins and two boys, one of whom is frightfully stupid and never speaks a word, and several aunts and other ladies, for the grown-ups had their friends too.
I'm frightfully anxious that Hella may have a relapse; she says that nothing would induce her to have a second operation, especially now that ; she says she would rather die. That would be awful! I did my best to persuade her to tell her mother that she has such pain; but she won't. October 19th. In November, Hella's father will be made a general and will be stationed in Cracow.
Ada's letters are full of nothing but my promises about Vienna. It's really too absurd, I never promised anything, I merely said I would speak to Mother about it when I had a chance. I have done so already, but Mother said: There can be no question of anything of the kind. September 1st. Hullo, Hurrah! To-morrow Hella's father is going to take me to K M in Hungary to stay with Hella.
It is a long time since we both gave up playing with dolls and things of that sort but when I was rummaging in Hella's box I came across the dolls' things; they were quite at the bottom where Hella never looked at them. I took out the little Paris model and she said: Give it here and bring all the things that belong to it. I arranged them all on her bed and we were trying all sorts of things.
Then Hella's father came and made a tremendous row and the uncle swore horribly in Hungarian. Before dinner we overheard Hella's father say to Aunt Olga: "They would be dainty morsels for that old swine, those innocent children." We did laugh so, we and innocent children!!! What our fathers really think of us; we innocent!!! At dinner we did not dare look at one another or we should have exploded.
